Changes to services in Shrewsbury

From Saturday 26 April 2025, we’ll be making changes to some of our services in Shrewsbury to help keep the buses running on time and to protect the long-term viability of the bus network. Below is a summary of the changes we are making.

1 Shrewsbury to Monkmoor and Telford Estate 
We’re making a small change to the route to replace some bus stops currently served by route 23.
When buses arrive at Monkmoor Hotel, they will then run along Woodcote Way, to Telford Way Roundabout and back down Woodcote Way, before continuing with their normal route along Monkmoor Road, and into Conway Drive. All bus stops will be served, and there will be some minor adjustments to the timetable.

3A Shrewsbury to Harlescott 
This service will be withdrawn and replaced with new route 23A.

17 Shrewsbury to Sutton Farm  
We’re making a couple of small changes to the timetable. 
The 0746 journey from Shrewsbury Business Park will depart at 0756 and will run 10 minutes later throughout.
The 1550 journey from Sutton Farm will continue to the town centre on Mondays to Fridays.

23 Shrewsbury to Belvidere  
We’re making some changes to the route and timetable, to improve punctuality and to balance our cost of operation with the revenue we receive.

The frequency of buses on this service will reduce to every 45 minutes throughout the day on Mondays to Saturdays.

Buses will follow the same route between Shrewsbury Bus Station and Belvidere to Belvidere Road (Mynd Close Junction). Journeys back into the town centre will start from the bus shelter opposite Mynd Road.

Customers who currently use route 23 along Abbots Road, Judith Butts Gardens or Woodcote Way will need to catch route 1, that runss up to every 20 minutes throughout the day on Mondays to Saturdays.

The 1435, 1520, 1605 and 1650 journeys from Mynd Close Junction to the town centre will run along Crowmere Road, Racecourse Crescent and Overdale Road. Customers wishing to travel back into the town centre from Belvidere, can catch the bus from any bus stop between Shrewsbury Bus Station and Mynd Close (on the opposite side of the road to the daytime service)

23A Shrewsbury to Belvidere and Harlescott 
This is a new service operating on school days only to serve Whitchurch Road and Harlescott and replaces the current route 3A. This service is available to all customers.
From Harlescott, buses will follow the same route 3A to Featherbed Lane traffic lights, although they will no longer serve Featherbed Lane or Arlington Way. This service will pick up and set down at all bus stops along Whitchurch Road, Heathgates, Woodcote Way, Monkmoor Road, Abbots Road, before joining the normal route 23 from Mynd Close to Shrewsbury town centre.

26 Shrewsbury to Meole Village  
We are making some changes to the timetable, to improve punctuality and to balance our cost of operation with the revenue received.
